Ugliest yellow helmet we've had..doesn't even match pants
Those uniforms still look f***** cool.
I agree, helmet gold isn't as "mustard" as the striping, and main pants color is more pure-gold. Somehow it doesn't bother me much.
Question for design-type experts, related to this: Could there be something inherent about how differently coloring works on helmet shells vs. fabric? Or were (for example) the Bruce-era differences in gold a matter of being unable to match the colors as precisely as they wanted? That is, were options for helmet hues in the past more realistically limited than in recent years?
Someone brought up the mismatch Cowboys silver/gray — a closer example to the '76-period ISU look for me is, at one point I remember Vikings uniforms looked inconsistent between helmet and jersey. Helmet looked like a deeper/darker purple, they didn't seem to match.
Anyone have insight into that?
